Building Caretakers in Kuwait Face Deportation if Illegal Activities Unreported

KUWAIT CITY, Nov 13: A security source has warned that building guards found overseeing properties where suspicious or illegal activities are taking place could face administrative deportation and be placed on a list preventing them from returning to Kuwait.

The source stressed that a building guard's responsibility is not limited to protecting the property but also includes reporting violations and illegal activities occurring within the premises under their supervision.

Security authorities, the source said, deal firmly with all reports and information related to illegal practices, emphasizing that guards are expected to notify the concerned authorities if they become aware of suspicious or unlawful activity inside properties they are responsible for monitoring.

The source further explained that GCC security coordination allows information concerning deported individuals to be registered and shared among Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Under applicable procedures and regulations, individuals placed on deportation lists may consequently face restrictions on entering other GCC countries.

In a recent security operation highlighting the continued crackdown on illegal activities, detectives in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh arrested 14 Asian expatriates at dawn last Thursday inside what authorities described as a gambling den.

The suspects were referred to the Administrative Deportation Department, with their names added to the list of those banned from re-entering Kuwait.

Security campaigns against illegal activities and suspected gathering places continue across various areas of the country, with authorities maintaining a firm stance against violations of Kuwait's laws.
